Projection: need to automatically qualify

Radford's early season presents challenges for their NCAA tournament hopes, particularly following a heavy loss to Pittsburgh, which raises concerns about their competitiveness against top-level teams. Their offense has shown flashes of potential, notably in wins against William & Mary and Old Dominion, but combined with defensive struggles—evidenced by their ranking and a lack of defensive stops—they need to make significant improvements. Upcoming matchups against teams like Clemson and Gardner Webb will be critical; a strong showing against these tougher opponents could bolster their resume, while dropping winnable games against teams like Longwood or High Point could jeopardize their conference standing. Ultimately, their best path to a tournament bid lies in securing the automatic qualifier through strong performances in the Big South tournament.
